First up, you should prioritise gold and silver accessories

On her @suebelle.tiktok account, she told fans: “Hey, it’s Sue Ellen, Palm Beach, and I’ve had some questions about how I get my classic look.

“I’m gonna give you three easy tips on how to look timeless.”

Going for gold

Her first tip was about accessorising, and Sue advised that gold and silver is always a safe bet.

Holding up bags in the two shades, she said: “I think if you do gold and silver, you can’t go wrong. 

“Thinking of gold and silver—these are my go-to shoes. 

“Gold and silver, doing that. Try not to mix metals, okay?

“Except watches and wedding rings are okay.

“That’s tip number one: gold and silver.”

Shoe knew

Her second tip was to get yourself a pair of Chanel pumps or flats – but thankfully an imitation dupe will do just fine if you can’t afford the designer price tag.

Choosing the right pair of shoe can help to make your legs look long.

Sue advised: “Another tip, if you’re gonna be with the ladies, is to wear the classic Chanel pump or the classic Chanel. 

“And they do imitations, but it’s a great look. 

“Makes your legs look so good. 

“The flats—I even went crazy and got the Chanel espadrilles. That’s tip number two.”

Cardigan core

Her third piece of advice was to get a trusty cardigan for your wardrobe.

Sue said: “And my last tip is: do a cardigan, or if it’s cool, a blazer. 

“But I love to do cardigans.

“And look at these—these are all cardigans, and they will all match a pair of pants or a shirt that I own. 

“And it just gives you a complete outfit.”

The fashionista’s video has clearly struck a chord with online viewers and racked up over 3,000 likes.

One person wrote: “You are a national treasure!!!”

A second added: “I love my classic Chanel flats and pumps. Perfect with everything.”

A third commented: “you look amazing.”

Sue’s fashion and lifestyle videos have racked up her over 145,000 followers on TikTok.

Speaking to new followers, the glamorous Floridian said: “I like to have fun and make people laugh. 

“I love to point out when something doesn’t look very good—even if you don’t ask me, I’ll tell you! But I also love to give compliments.

“You know, I’m just an ordinary girl trying to have fun.”
